Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room, only ate dinner once and breakfast once, excellent service and food both times. JiJi Asian was excellent from service to food, the Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse was superb as usual, there were 5 in my party including children, who could not rave more about the food, steaks were cooked to perfection and my Sea bass was excellent. I am a lover of Lido, and always get to try something new, for dinner, Lido did not disappoint especially with variety of salads and desserts. Guy's burgers make you want to eat them every day. Loved Mongolian wok for lunch , and Cucina Capitano for lunch excellent. Overall never had a bad meal the whole trip.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was too much to do, my favorite is lounging and sleeping on Serenity and Lido, but did play Bingo some times, but I mostly want to lounge, the key to doing all the lounging on a big ship is getting up early, I'm an early riser, so getting that Serenity alone time was beautiful!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The show Flick was excellent, and all dance parties on deck with Matt the best CD ever so far next to Malcolm.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Seuss breakfast and parade were excellent, she loved it, food was delicious!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My steward Ali was great, and did an excellent job, all staff made the cruise excellent, they worked hard and are worth any extra tips they receive, they're all great no matter where you go on the ship!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Designed beautifully only complaint is that they need to make the pools bigger, that's the only thing that kept me out of it. Otherwise the décor is beautiful especially the Atrium and lounge areas.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
As usual, very comfortable bed, slept like a baby, always good to be able to come back to the balcony and lounge from there, or watch the ship go into port.

Ship tip

Since the ship holds si much people, if you don't want to stand in line, you should get up early for Lido, which is 7am-9 and you shouldn't have a problem, there was enough deck space for everyone, if you wanted to be by the pool, you should venture out early. Enjoy yourself!!
